The
relevant facts are stated more fully in Section I of the
Court's Order dated July 5, 2016 (the “July 2016
Order”). Baxter Bailey & Assocs., Inc. v. Powers &
Stinson, Inc., No. 14-3012, 2016 WL 7497581, at *1 (W.D.
Tenn. July 5, 2016). This section addresses proceedings since
the July 2016 Order.

In the
July 2016 Order, the Court denied motions for summary
judgment filed by Plaintiff and Defendants. (Id. at
*6.) A jury trial was held on July 25 and 26, 2016. (Minute
Entry, ECF No. 73; Minute Entry, ECF No. 75.) The jury
considered two claims: (1) trademark dilution in violation of
15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) and (c); and (2) violation of the
Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act
(“ACPA”), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d)(1). (ECF No.
76; see also ECF No. 77.) The jury found for Defendants on
the trademark-dilution claim, and for Plaintiff on the ACPA
claim. (See ECF No. 76 at 1, 3.)[1]

Before
trial, Plaintiff elected “to accept statutory damages
should it prevail at trial.” (ECF No. 71.) Under the
ACPA, those damages were between $1, 000.00 and $100, 000.00,
and for the jury to determine. 15 U.S.C. § 1117(d). The
jury awarded Plaintiff $1, 000.00. (ECF No. 76 at 4.)

On
August 9, 2016, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Costs and
Attorney's Fees. (ECF No. 81; see also ECF No. 81-1.)
Defendants responded on August 18, 2016. (ECF No. 82.) On
March 20, 2017, the Court issued an Order denying
Plaintiff's Motion for Costs and Attorney's Fees
without prejudice. (ECF No. 83.) The Court instructed
Plaintiff that, if it wished “to seek costs and fees in
this case, it must follow the procedures set forth in Rule
54(d) and Local Rule 54.1.” (Id. at 504.) The
Court also said that, “[t]o the extent those rules have
deadlines based on the date of entry of judgment or the date
of termination of the case . . . the date of this Order shall
be treated as the date of the entry of judgment and the date
the case terminated.” (Id.)

On
April 3, 2017, Plaintiff filed a second Motion for
Attorney's Fees. (ECF No. 84; see also ECF No. 84-1.)
Defendants responded on April 9, 2017. (ECF No. 85.)

Unless
a statute or a court order provides otherwise, the motion
must:

(i) be filed no later than 14 days after the entry of
